Will be visiting Dublin in June and would like recommendations for a centrally located hotel convenient to airport transportation
We liked the Clayton and would stay there again. The restaurant there is good and they provide free shuttle to airport as well as shuttle from rental car area to the hotel.
Last summer I stayed at the Harding Hotel at the edge of Temple Bar and across the street from Christ Church. I took the Air Link bus from the airport and it stopped right across the street from the hotel. Be sure to ask for a room NOT on the side over the bar as it can be noisy.
Take a look at the Air Link bus routes and choose your lodgings accordingly. Be aware that Dublin tends to be expensive. Also, in June the chance of noise from nightlife is high, because in warm weather and with the sun setting late people will be out in the streets enjoying themselves.
